It's only been 5 days since I've been off of Facebook and Instagram for lent and it is so calming! I will probably end up downloading them again after Lent but I will definitely be more mindful about how often I'm on them!
The biggest thing I've experienced so far is how far less I compare myself to others which is so important as a young woman/new wife/person in general! If i don't know every meal people are eating or every workout someone is doing than I am better off for it! After all, my only competition is my former self and my goal should be becoming a better future self! I've also been working on replacing my "check social media the second I wake up" with just breathing in the day and then doing my devos while I drink coffee. That way, I'M in charge of how my day begins. Very powerful stuff!!
With that being said, I'm starting my second week of official training for the Pittsburgh Half and I'm just plugging away. I signed up for two races this morning (a 10 mile in March and a 10k in May) and am getting so excited to have those on the calendar. Thinking forward to spring is what I need mentally right now. Today should be mid-30's which will feel like a heat wave and is the perfect weather for outdoor running :-)
Happy Monday!
I'm so proud of you!!! Nothing earth shattering is happening when we aren't on social media! we just think so! :) I'm so excited for you to be training now & to have those races on your calendar! You'll feel amazing as you work towards those goals, and I know you'll crush them! keep going! love you!
